FANTASTIC JOE! I DID A LARGE 2 FT X 3 FT ONE KINDA LIKE THIS BUT ALOT DARKER WITH SOME HUMPBACK WHALES, AND ONE OF THEM WAS SLIGHTLY BREACHING THE SURFACE WITH HIS NOSE, IT CAME OUT GREAT AND I SOLD IT! I USED A BLACK CANVAS FOR IT AND THAT HELPED WITH CAUSING AND FINDING THE DEPTH OF THE WATER, THANKS, MISSED YOU DOING STUFF, KEEP IT UP!
Thank you!! Appreciate that! Your painting of the Humpbacks sounds awesome. I loved doing this underwater ocean scene and I have a few more ideas for more. Glad to be back and share this one!
Hello Joseph, thank you for sharing your work. You nailed it on depth. It looks so realistic. Great work. You have inspired me to try my own composition. I have some smaller canvases and going to try a small one first to see how it goes. The king of realism. LOVE love love your work. Just when I think you cant get any better. Amazing work. ❤
Thank you so much!! That is incredibly kind of you to say. I was very happy to share this process, especially since it was something new to me and there was some of my own learning that went into it. Definitely give it a try and I hope that your paintings go well!
Another masterful job! I thought this one might be a bit more simplified, with less detail than most of your work, but the details of the ocean shading and the orca colorations fading into the background showed that there is still plenty of detail in this painting, with a lot of subtle shading and blending to get just the right look for this subject. Thanks for posting this one Joseph, and I hope more of your great work will be forthcoming.
Thank you so much!! I had gone into this thinking a similar thing about the details of this painting. Getting the subtle tones and shading just right seemed to be just as intensive as something like feathers or fur. I'm always happy to share and I've got to make more videos. Appreciate you watching!
Hi Joseph this is a fabulous piece. It is got so much depth! Not to mention not an easy painting which you make it look easy. I would love to try this one day.
Its great. But you would save more time if you did all the blue first and painted on top "ghosting" method of the Orcas. Then finish them like you did. Also you could alternatively use zinc white sponge method to fade each one out after you paint them. Zinc white is more transparent white. Or just your white with more medium. Using a soft broken chewed up sponge. I learned that technique from the master himself @robertbateman 😮😊
Thanks for the tip! In the early days of my art I tried that same method Bateman uses with the sponge and doing a bit of ghosting for fading things into the distance - but I wasn't able to get the results out of it that I liked. Though this was most likely a skill issue and I just needed more practice. I'm going to have to revisit that technique when I do large paintings like this again to see if I can cut down on that time.

OH BTW, WHAT BRAND OF ACRYLICS DO YOU USE? I NOTICED THE PIGMENT COLOR IS QUITE CONCENTRATED!
I'm using the Liquitex professional heavy body acrylics. They have a good amount of pigment in them, and I tend to layer them up to try and get the right saturation.
Absolutely love this painting! I enjoyed following the process and your detailed description. Such a great video! Thank you!
Thank you so much!! Appreciate that!

I'm so glad you're back to share your process of painting. You are a very talented artist and I appreciate all your tutorials.
Thank you for watching! Happy to be back to share this painting. It was both a challenging and exciting painting to work on!

Thank you so much!! This was definitely new territory for me and I'm happy with how it came together. I hope you enjoy painting one like this!
I`m surprised you did n`t use a stay wet palette especially given you used such few colours .
